Margaret Mizushima
“Characters That Go The Distance”
August 19, 2026 5:00 PM Pacific Time
Characters are the foundation upon which storytellers build their plots. When readers love a book’s characters, they will return to that author’s work time and time again. In this presentation, Margaret Mizushima will share methods she used to develop the characters in her award-winning Timber Creek K-9 Mystery series, along with tips she has picked up from other writers during her publishing journey.
Margaret Mizushima writes the internationally published Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries. She served as a past president of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of Mystery Writers of America and was elected Writer of the Year by Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers. She is the recipient of a Colorado Authors League Award, a Benjamin Franklin Book Award, a CIBA CLUE Award, and two WILLA Literary Awards by Women Writing the West. Her books have been finalists for a SPUR Award by Western Writers of America, a Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award, and the Colorado Book Award. She and her husband recently moved from Colorado, where they raised two daughters and a multitude of animals, to a home in the Pacific Northwest. Learn more at her website www.margaretmizushima.com.
